LUBBOCK, Texas \u2013 Texas Tech will welcome New Mexico back to Jones AT&T Stadium early in the 2027 football season as part of a one-game scheduling agreement the two schools announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The Lobos, coming off a 9-4 season a year ago, will replace North Texas on Texas Tech’s 2027 non-conference slate with New Mexico traveling to Lubbock on Sept. 18, 2027. Texas Tech notified North Texas officials in April of its plans to cancel a previously scheduled 2027 road game in Denton to maintain a minimum of six home\u00a0games.<\/p>\n
It will be the 46th all-time meeting between the Red Raiders and Lobos in a series that will be renewed for the first time since 2012. Texas Tech is 37-6-2 versus New Mexico, having won 14 of the past 15 meetings. The series dates back to 1931 where the Red Raiders delivered a 32-6 victory in Lubbock in the first-ever meeting between the two former Border Conference members.<\/p>\n
The two schools previously met annually as non-conference opponents from 1971-86 during Texas Tech’s tenure in the Southwest Conference and then nine times since the Red Raiders joined the Big 12 Conference in 1996. The Red Raiders are 23-2 all-time at home against the Lobos, who have lost nine-straight road trips in Lubbock, including a 49-14 rout in the last meeting between the two schools early in the 2012 season.<\/p>\n
New Mexico fills one of two open dates on Texas Tech’s 2027 non-conference schedule as the Red Raiders are actively searching for a power conference opponent for the other available date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LUBBOCK, Texas \u2013 Texas Tech will welcome New Mexico back to Jones AT&T Stadium early in the 2027…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289674,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-289673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289673"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289673\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
